How much time have you given it? I had a bubble, maybe half the size of a dime, on the bottom of my phone, just right of center. I didn't have success using a clip, but my bubble turned into a spider web after a couple days, and then disappeared entirely after about a week and a half.

I did hold it down every now and then, but when a clip, even after an hour, didn't seem to do anything, I tried to ignore it. After giving it some time it handled itself.

Can you reapply this? I just realized there's a tiny hair or dust particle in the viewing area.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] eshopper:
Yes you can but be very careful because the sticky side didn't let go of finger prints and the soap marks..

Has anybody seen a privacy tempered glass screen protector for the Nexus 5?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sucro:
Hello everbody,

Finally, today arrived my Nillkin LG Nexust 5 Glass protector, which I purchased from this ebay seller,

http://www.ebay.com/itm/221317086028?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

one thing I wonder, whether original Nillkin glass protector has 3 holes at the top - front camera, earpiece and the sensor, or just 2 for earpiece and sensor? On this one I bought there are 2 hole - for earpiece and sensor?

On Nillking page, I see 2 holes at the top, on images,

OK so I reapplied it after rinsing the protector in soap and water. It's much better now but there is a bit of liquid stuck in the mirror and I can't squeeze all of it out. So I have a slight rainbow effect in the middle when I use it. Think it'll dry up and disappear?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Zortwil:
2 for me.

People washing their protectors: did you guys get a blotchy kind of effect under the screen when under direct sunlight?

I ordered another off of ebay and will try a completely dry one-time install.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sucro:
Tnx for info! I was afraid that i receieved some fake :), cause on original screen protector which i receieved by phone from Google inc. was 3 holes, camera, earpiece and sensor.

I didn't hear good experiences with washing-drying Glass protectors, most of people apply it once, and don't move it :).

Tnx for info! Like wrote above, seems not good experiences at people after washing this Glass protector... So, better maybe order new one, cause not so expensive 10-11$ on ebay.com
[Nexus 5 Accessories] nikulogical:
So its completely dried up and the rainbow effect has gone. :)

The only thing I'm worried now is that I think washing it removed the oleophobic coating lol.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sucro:
You'll know that soon, if it moves around :)....

You perverts :P, seems some of you are women :P ....

Ok, i screwed up my Nillking, trying apply, cause had 2 bubbles, and tried remove them, but that lead me to wash nillking, i tried with water and soap like someone suggested, but that just make thing worst, cause there left traces from my fingers, so definetely will have order new one :(, and this time will be more careful at applying on my nexus 5 :( ...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] varunthapliyal999:
Use a tape on the adhesive side to remove any lint,finger prints, or water marks :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sucro:
Thanks for tip, will try :), eve i think new order will be solution :).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Geo2160:
Be careful with the tape you use. Duct tape and cheap scotch tape will leave glue residues.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sucro:
I ordered new Nillkin Glass protector, think this by tape will not help much :( , this time will give to my friend, who is very experienced with this things, to apply for me :)...

p.s.

haha, can't believe, tape really solved my problem after washing and traces from my fingers :)! So, this works really! I washed it by soap and not so hot watter, and then took tape and removed all traces, then applied again Nillkin glass protector, and this time it applied better than first time :). For all who try to wash their Glass protectors, use tape like this,

i used these 2 in combination, and they did a job :). However, i'll use this like reserve, when arrives my new Nillkin :).

This is why I will forever love tempered glass screen protectors!! My cheap Nillkin baby!

I was at the park today with my girlfriend and her 6 year old nephew. He was asking why I put glass on my phone if it already has glass. I told him for protection so the real glass doesn't break. This one is like a shield.

I then showed him the Nillkin H+ promo video on my phone and he got super excited and thought it was cool. As I was sitting down at a picnic table, he proceeds to grab a rock and whacks my phone as it was sitting on the table in front of me!!! I so wanted to drop kick him. But he's 6 and didn't know any better, and it was my fault for showing him that video... :crying:

Needless to say this is what it looked like when I had time to snap a photo at home.

I feared the worst as it looked absolutely horrible... It was a solid whack using that rock like a hammer.

So I slowly peeled it off and could hear cracking and snapping. But BOOM, look at that pristine piece of glass baby!!!! Screen is perfect, not a mark on it. The screen protector did it's job like a BOSS!

Whether you use Nillkin or another brand, it is one hell of an investment. That saved me almost another replacement phone or screen repair! Time to order another one (probably like 5 just to be safe).

[Nexus 5 Accessories] nikulogical:
so after a week of a perfect install, i got a tad bit of a problem. suddenly smudges have appeared on the other side of the protector. wtf! i don't know if its fingerprints or what but they came out of nowhere. its only noticeable when the screen is off and when theres white on the screen. when off, the smudges look grey and foggy. when on, they look grey-brownish. anybody know whats goin on? will it disappear?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] rootSU:
seems like the oleophobic coating wore off the screen.. :(

Appears to be on the other side, the side touching the screen.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] josemedina:
I don't know if this is any help, or advisable. But, here I go.

I dpopped my protector on carpet immediately after removing the protective film. Carpet that has two shedding beast type dogs on it all the time. I figured that @ 10$ per it wouldn't kill me to experiment with cleaning the application side. It was covered in dog hair, carpet fiber, and finger prints.

1st attempt: Using warm running water and my clean finger tips only I ran the water continually over the application side of the protector. While under running water I lightly rubbed rapidly from top to bottom until i was satisfied, then dried with a hair dryer.

Result: some carpet fibers remained. However, the finger prints went away. It also left strange gray streaks and spots.

Attempt 2: large amounts of windex (window cleaner for those in countries other than the united states) and a high quality lint free cloth. I figured it would be ruined by this. I continued to rub the lint free from top to bottom with the protector heavily saturated with windex. Dried with hair dryer.

Result: gray spots were gone, carpet fibers still existed but in much lower quantities.

Attempt 3: I used scotch tape to pick up all of the lint. Then, heavily saturated with windex, cheap lint free cloth and very light pressure to "smooth" out the lines left by the scotch tape. I dried it with compressed air, either canned or from a compressor will work as long as you take care to ensure you don't hold the can of air so close to the protector that water condenses of the protector, or if using a air compressor, make sure it is well drained and not spraying water and air.

Result: a perfectly clean, clear and well adhered screen protector. The coating on the underside is very, very resilient. I absolutely abused this the thing with chemicals, water, hot air, high pressure air, drops on carpet, touching all over the underside, etc etc. I may have diminished the life span of the screen cover, but 3 weeks in and its still going great. Perfectly adhered with no spots or streaks.

Long story short, use my third attempt and it will be like new.

Did you wash yours? That happened to me when I washed it and left some water on while applying.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Beauenheim:
I don't mean to be rude, but don't you think that maybe failing to apply correctly and washing it afterwards may have caused that?

Nah, it was like that from the first install. I thought it was fingerprints but it's not.

If you had used any soap solution for washing then that could be the reason.. even I have on my screen just didn't knew how to express until I saw your post :D
[Nexus 5 Accessories] sucro:
So, what to use for washing Nillkin glass protector, instead soap+water, only water? I used soap + water :), at the top of screen have little moisture and at the bottom, not so bit, but enough to irritate :) ... Wrote to ebay-seller, but i told him that i made problem by myself :), asked for some discount for new one, but chinese seller didn't accept to give some discount :). Maybe was better option, like nikulogical did, to ask for replacement :), that after washing not works ok :).
[Nexus 5 Accessories] cdonald:
Have to admit, I was initially apprehensive about putting one of these on my phone. I was wrong though, this thing is great as it has saved my phone already and most of the time I barely notice it's on there!
[Nexus 5 Accessories] :
Dude, you seem to have real bad juju around your Nexus. This is the second one that's been traumatized by something other than you, right? :p

If anyone's wondering about the weird "frosted" spots under the screen, I got one. Smack dab on the screen area. Which wasn't there when I applied it. And it was driving me crazy. So what I did was I removed it, and tried to clean the adhesive side with a dish sponge and dish washing liquid. No dice.

I resigned myself to order a new one in a few days, but over the course of the week, the spot shrunk. Now, it's completely gone. Without any interaction on my part. No applied pressure, no nothing. If you have this spot, too, just try leave it for a few days. It might go away.

Now if only I could get rid of the damn spiderweb next to the notification LED. I bulldog-clipped it overnight, no luck. Removed, washed, re-applied, nada.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] brockkk:
just installed mine and noticed its a hair off. is it easy to take off and reapply? im scared to take it off, ahha.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] josemedina:
Gently get a corner up and slowly peel it back. Then, replace it. Its that easy.

Just installed mine wow what a difference compare to regular had 2 spider webs at the bottom and one next to the notification led but managed to get rid of all or them. Can't believe how clean it looks like a bare phone

Yeah second time. But technically 1 time for each phone though!! :laugh:

You know the solution to that, right? Order one more, that way you'll have more phones than you do accidents! Order one more after that and you'll have only broken half your Nexuses! ;)

can someone take a picture of how the spiderweb looks like? also, if I mess up the application, what do I do?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] tricurious:
I am not sure about other glass-based screen protectors as this is my first one, but let me tell you, this is the best screen protector, I've ever used. It's scratchproof, catches smudges and oils much less and is virtually invisible. While many had problems in installing these, I installed it quickly under 5 mins and had to re-adjust only once. I installed in a closed air-conditioned room and that might have something to do with my quick and perfect installation. After using this, I am never going back to a PET film based protector.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] brockkk:
Replace as in buy a new one or re apply?

I did the binder clip for 15 minutes and it didn't work to great so I did it overnight. Woke up to no more spiderwebs and they haven't come back since (2 weeks now).

Hello all. These questions may have been asked already so please excuse me - 46 pages is a lot!

I see that its for sale on AliExpress for $8.90 - http://www.aliexpress.com/item/For-...013999999870&gclid=CPaT8p_FoL8CFW4Q7AodHhkA3Q

Is this a fake / knockoff or is it the same one by chance?

Also, I've heard of people having issues with spider webs appearing. Is this usually a cause of how the screen protector is applied, or does it happen randomly? Is it a reason to not buy it?

Last question.. what is the best way to apply it to the phone?

Thanks in advance!

[Nexus 5 Accessories] LewisGauss:
This or Spigen GLAS.tR or Spigen GLAS.t?

Freshly baked from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Accessories] merewood bebox:
nillkin, if applied right you'll get no bubbles for about half or even a third of the price of spiqen. since they last so long you may not even need to take it off ever, and if you drop it like i have, you can use the money save from being a nillkin to buy another one...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] LewisGauss:
Yeah Nillkin is much cheaper. I wonder why do they make a cut out at the proximity and light sensors there. It would've been perfect if they didn't. Just make the phone looks without a protector on.

Anyone else experiencing this? It goes away after cleaning the glass with a cloth, but comes again just a few minutes later.

Quite annoying...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] idbl_fanatic:
What if you press down on it without a cloth? Does it go away? If so, then there was something on your screen when you applied it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] VERGiL1202:
It's on top of the protector and I can scratch it away with my fingernails.. Kind of weird because it's always the same shape.

I've been using this screen protector for about 6 months now, couldn't be happier with it. Like most of you I've had that spiderweb next to the LED for the longest time.. until I realized today that it was completely gone!

I've had the Nillkin installed for long enough that I no longer noticed the spiderweb or tried to remove it. I just accepted that it would stay there. I only realized it was gone today because I was going to compare it to my coworker's Nexus 5 with a new Nillkin installed. He also has that spiderweb in the same spot.

The only thing that happened recently that may have to do with it (in my opinion) was that I left my phone (turned off) for nearly the whole day in my car on a burning hot day. When I got back to the car, the phone was really hot to the point I decided to wait a while before I even turned it on. Other than that one time, my phone is always in my pockets and it didn't improve before... so I think that's what did it.

My apologies if anyone else already mentioned something similar in the thread, I haven't come here in a while and just wanted to share this.

Love this protector. I'm currently on #3 though. The first one cracked after I bent it during application. #2 went when my ex threw my phone into a wall and it landed flat. I was sure my screen was done for, but nope!

Current one is slightly cracked and I have no idea how. Just a single line crack you can't even see with the screen on.

I'm ordering 2 more soon. I figure as long as I apply the first one correctly and don't have to use the second, I'm going to light a brick of firecrackers on the screen protector and see how it holds up. See if it really is anti explosion. If firecrackers don't break it, I'll move on to bigger and better things. Only issue is the wait. I ordered the other ones (#2&3) off amazon and it still took about a month for them to arrive.

I couldn't be happier with this product. It's saved my phones screen when it would have been completely shattered if naked. My only problem is how long I have to wait to get it. :(
